I Think, I Know, I Can: Minecraft Mentorship Program
Minecraft provides students with an engaging space to practice skills that can be difficult to develop through worksheets or traditional instruction. Our personalized mentorship program uses creative Minecraft projects to support communication, social skills, planning, organization, problem-solving, confidence, and other areas of executive functioning. Students work alongside an experienced Minecraft executive functioning coach to set goals, make plans, solve problems, and complete projects based on their interests.
Through structured and open-ended activities, students learn to work through challenges, respond more positively to mistakes, communicate their ideas, and recognize what they are capable of accomplishing.
